By the way, Dostoyvsky's The Brothers Karamazov is my desert island book, especially Father Sozima's speeches about faith and patience, and the theartics of the father Fyodor Karamazov who, when hearing news of his first wife's death, sometimes weeping audibly in toilets of pubs, sometimes talking to himself and sometines running in the street shouting joyously towards the sky, "Now, you have liberated your creature, O Lord."
